The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

After processing the wild boar, the group carried the meat out of the cave, by which time it was already broad daylight.

Captain Wang went to the parking area and woke up the people sleeping in each car.

The rest of the transport team, led by Master Chen, began distributing the wild boar meat.

Since everyone cooked their own meals, the wild boar meat was divided into small, evenly sized pieces so that everyone could take them home and cook them themselves.

After everyone had received their food, Master Chen reminded them, "Eat plenty of meat and save the grain for later. Did everyone understand?"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, as it was the first time they had ever heard of saving grain by eating meat.

Looking at the two pieces of meat he was carrying, Wu Tian couldn't help but smile and say, "Master Chen, don't worry, I promise I'll eat lots of meat these next few days."

"Old Chen, as long as there's meat, we don't even need to eat grain!" Chef Zheng joked.

Others chimed in with their own opinions.

They're not stupid; if they can eat meat freely, why would they need to eat grain?

Master Chen knew his words were awkward, but seeing that he had achieved his goal, he didn't explain further.

Everyone excitedly took the meat back to their respective places, set up their lunchboxes, and started a fire to cook it.

Although only a little salt was added, the aroma of meat filled the entire valley in no time.

This was quite a surprise. The people who had just gotten off the back of the truck all stared intently at the steaming lunchboxes on the transport team's side.

They usually can't even get enough to eat, let alone smell meat. Now, they were all swallowing their saliva.

However, because of what Captain Wang said yesterday, none of them dared to go up and ask for it, but only secretly glanced in this direction.

Zhou Zhiming finished cooking, carried the lunchbox to the driver's car, and called out, "Driver, lunch is ready!"

Li Kaixin wasn't really asleep at this moment; he was just resting with his eyes closed. He got out of the car when he heard the sound.

The two squatted down by the car wheel and began to eat breakfast.

Li Kaixin picked up a piece of boiled pork and tasted it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

This meat didn't have the gamey smell of wild boar, and it was firmer than domestic pork. Even a picky eater like him couldn't help but take a few more bites.

He didn't forget to praise his apprentice, saying, "Zhiming, your cooking skills are getting better and better. This meat tastes really good."

"Master, you flatter me." Zhou Zhiming scratched his head sheepishly.

My eyes glanced over unintentionally and I saw a few teenagers standing not far away, looking at me timidly.

That pitiful look softened Zhou Zhiming's heart. He put down the lunchbox and asked, "Master, may I go over and give them some meat?"

As he spoke, he was about to stand up.

Li Kaixin naturally saw it too, and grabbed his apprentice, saying, "Zhiming, you can't go."

"Why, Master?" Zhou Zhiming asked, puzzled.

He didn't doubt that his master was stingy; if his master could bring out a whole pig for everyone to eat, he wasn't a petty person.

"Zhiming, squat down first, and let me explain slowly to you," Li Kaixin said, pulling his apprentice down.

Although Zhou Zhiming was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions and obediently squatted down again.

Li Kaixin was very satisfied with his apprentice's obedience, and then slowly began to explain.

After Li Kaixin finished speaking, Zhou Zhiming suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "I knew it! That's why Master kept telling us to eat more meat and save the grain for them!"

He paused, then lowered his voice: "Master, if I really give it to him, won't I be in trouble?"

"What do you think?" Li Kaixin looked at his apprentice with a half-smile.

Zhou Zhiming immediately understood, his voice trembling slightly: "Master, thank you for stopping me just now. Otherwise, if something had really happened, I wouldn't know what to do."

"Zhiming, it's alright."

Li Kaixin gently patted his arm, her tone mild: "You didn't do it on purpose. Even if something really happens, you still have your master, right? Don't you trust me to handle this little thing?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiming's eyes reddened.

He stared straight at Li Kaixin, his voice choked with emotion, "Master, you've been so good to me. From now on, I will treat you like my own father, and take care of you in your old age until the end!"

"You'll take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die? I'm probably not even as old as you!" Li Kaixin said, his face, which had been beaming with pride just moments before, now darkened.

Zhou Zhiming realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately fell silent, feeling guilty.

Seeing his apprentice's expression, Li Kaixin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright, stop acting like a quail. Let's eat!"

Zhou Zhiming felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly buried his head in his food.

Those few thin, teenagers quickly peeked out when they looked over, but after a while, they quietly poked their heads out again.

Li Kaixin witnessed this scene and could only sigh inwardly.

As mentioned earlier, it wasn't that he didn't want to give, but they were currently on their way and their bodies were too weak to give.

After finishing their meal, everyone checked the vehicles, put everyone on the cars, and then the convoy returned to its original route and headed towards Inner Mongolia.

Zhou Zhiming was a little nervous at first, as it was his first time driving for such a long time, and his hands were trembling a bit, but he gradually became more stable.

The main reason was that the speed was not fast this time, and the people in the car behind had all switched to other cars, so I didn't feel much pressure.

I thought today would pass peacefully, but the car stopped not long after, and the sound of wailing came from ahead again.

This made Li Kaixin frown. Without thinking too much, he quickly got out of the car and ran forward.

Upon closer inspection, they saw a little boy vomiting blood.

Knowing the situation was extremely urgent, Li Kaixin didn't even have time to talk to the master next to him before going forward to check.

The child's grandmother stood to the side, tears streaming down her face, her whole body trembling violently.

When she saw her grandson vomiting blood, she was completely at a loss.

After checking the situation, Li Kaixin took out the bottle of medicine he had prepared to give to Secretary Liu on his birthday, poured out a pill and fed it to the child, and then inserted a few needles into several acupoints.

When the child woke up, Li Kaixin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He whispered a few more words of comfort to the old woman, handed her the medicine bottle, and then got out of the car.

Captain Wang rushed over, his face full of anxiety, and asked, "Kaixin, how serious is the child's condition? Why is he vomiting blood?"

"It was very serious; the person almost didn't make it."

Li Kaixin made no attempt to hide anything, then scanned the assembled chefs and asked in a deep voice, "Chefs, do you know who fed this child meat?"

Upon hearing this, the masters all looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Everyone, stop keeping quiet, who is it?" Captain Wang stood to the side, his expression changing repeatedly.

Wen Tianyou hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said in a very soft voice, "I felt sorry for this child, so... so I fed him a piece of meat."

After speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at everyone.
